Anon – Greedy Kipper lyrics

When I was a nipper, a greedy little kipper,
Once a fella said to me,
I know where there is a tree,
Laden up with fruit, warranted to suit,
Anybody great or small.

So off I did a bunk, I went to get a trunk,
I didn't mean to get a few,
I meant to get a ton or two,
Of apples off the tree, wasn't greedy don't you see,
Only fond of fruit that's all.

So off I went to have a look at 'em,
Just got my leg upon the wall,
When my blood turned pale cause a seven inch nail,
Went right in my "you know where the monkey has a tail"
And I didn't get a look at them at all.

One day I met a Chappy lookin very happy
I said "what's the matter" Joe
He said I know where there is a show
Just across the way a penny's all you pay
40 bloomin girls on show

So off I went to have a look at them
On those girls I meant to call
But wasn't it a tough, I met the misses in a huff
She said come home and look at my legs
That ought to be enough
And I didn't get a look at them at all
